Can I then ask a follow up-question to that? I don't have much time; I'm sorry to interrupt.

We've heard comments from Mr. Mazzuca and you...I don't know whether you said to completely repeal the other bills or to support Bill C-4, but why not support a measure of accountability that might change Bill C-377 or Bill C-525 rather than discard them entirely? Why not at least support some amendments to the existing legislation to make it more workable?

If accountability is desired, as I'm sure we could agree, why not just amend the current legislation rather than throw it out in its entirety?
